These officers are composed of the

city.
AS A POLITICAL FACTOR.
As a political factor the club il a pow
or, and as a social organization 1t stands
second to none in the city. The watch
word Is Eternal vigilance Is the price
Of good government and the bOunden
duty of the citiZ n" " lie the object of
the club Is to promote harmony and
strength In the party. Since the Organi
cation Of the club thu Dem cratic party
has been unified, and the Club, with
Its three hundred active members and
long list of honorary members, among
which are the leading and best Demo.
Gratis In the county, has for some time
past been recognized as the official
party organization In the county. All
he meetings Of the Central and
Executive Committees of tue
county, and Jhs organized CITY
Democracy, hO'd their mpetinrs In the
Assembly hall of the Club. The mem
baTs of the CluO are of the best young
Democrats in the city and with the
next year many more will be taken in.
Any young Democrat, of goo character,
between the ages of 81 and 80 Ia eligible
to membership. When m mbeTs are
past 80 they remain as active mem 1ers,
but are retired from the marching
Democrats over 30 are accepted as hon
OraIy members.
The uniform Of the Marching CLUB,
which is recognized as one of the finest
in the State, at present consists of silk
hats and badges, gloves, cane and Ian
terms, with cOlOTed glass globes.
Much credit Is due to President Mon
not, whose perseverance and indOmtta
BILE energy has done much to place the
Club on the excellent footing upon
which 1t now stands.
Attempts were made during the In
fancy of the Club by Republican pOliti-
clans to try to cause dissensiOn in its
ranks, by circulating stories that the
Club was bOltinG county candidates.
The unscrupu GUS psrtisans were deter
mined to crush the OrganiZA ion, for
they knew If they did not it would be
come, as 1t is to day, power In politics.
The last attempt was made about one
yesT ago when tho late James Lee was a
candidate for Sheriff, Some OF these
fellows told Mr.. Lee that the Club was
going to defeat him. President MonnOt
tracked the enemies to their den and eX
posed them, and Mr.. Lee was elected by
one of the largest msjorities on the
ticket. Despite these damnsble at
temDts the Club Is growing stronger
every day.
In conclusion the DEMOCRAT sincerely
hopes that these young men will perse
we're in their efforts and make the Young
Mems Democratic Club q complete and
most powerful organization.
